Musculoskeletal (MSK) radiology is a radiological subspecialty that
has expanded its knowledge base and imaging capabilities with the
advent of MRI, multi/detector CT, ult- sound, and PET. Prior to the
advent of MRI, MSK radiologists used plain flm X-rays and
arthrograms as their primary tools. The subspecialty has progressed
from primary im- ing of osseous structures and indirect imaging of
joint spaces, to direct imaging of soft tissue structures with
direct visualization and fne defnition of MSK structures. A
specialized MSK radiologist requires a sound knowledge of anatomy,
pathophysi- ogy, orthopedic surgical techniques, and advancements
in imaging modalities. MSK im- ing involves all aspects about
anatomy, function, disease states, and aspects of interventional
radiology appertaining to the MSK system including imaging in
orthopedics, trauma, rheumatology, metabolic and endocrine
diseases, as well as aspects of pediatrics, oncology, and sports
imaging. Subspecialty training in MSK radiology must ensure
competence to obtain experience in the following techniques: plain
radiography, ultrasonography, CT, MRI, nuclear me- cine, bone
densitometry, and fuoroscopic procedures including arthrography.
MSK ra- ologists must be aware of the strengths and weaknesses of
the different imaging methods in each pathological condition and
choose the appropriate imaging technique and/or the appropriate
sequence in the investigation of specifc clinical problems.
